450 PARK AVENUE
New York
Project Commission
A retail space for Phillips de Pury & Company at their new flagship gallery and auction hall in Manhattan. Glass Hill were commissioned to devise a modular yet sophisticated shop fit to display an ever changing selection of design and art objects. This commission follows on from the success of the London retail space.
Built in the late 60’s and completed in 1972, 450 Park was designed by architects Emery Roth and Sons, and originally commissioned by the Franklin National Bank. The black granite tower contains 33-stories and 300,000 square feet of floor space. Phillips de Pury are based on the first two floors.
Due for completion Feb 2011.

LOCAL HERO
A new inn
Concept
A concept for a new network of British inns. The Local Hero Inn is the unique combination of food, drink, a place to stay and good portion of the local. Inns sprang up wherever travellers passed and died when patterns of travel changed. Scores are boarded up, they have become signs of decline and neglect.
The Local Hero project will re-discover and re-build the Inn as a new champion of modesty and simple pleasures. The Local Hero will be a realistic counterpoint to the exclusive gastro-inns. It will be grounded in the local area, from the chippy who fits the stairs to the chicken who lays the breakfast roll eggs. By seeing value in the very simple, any closed inn can become an asset and holds within it the possibility of reinstating a lost network of incomparable accommodation.
The British Isles 2010 and onwards.
